Spent a morning wandering through Dig It Gardens in downtown Phoenix, and it was a relaxing escape. Houseplants, outdoor plants, surprisingly good prices, and a whole community of neighborhood kitties roaming the garden thanks to the care they give the local feral cats.

Outstanding customer service is becoming rare, but Dig It Gardens reminded me it still exists. I brought in a clipping from the memorial arrangement for my little dog after she passed away. It’s one of the few things I have left of her, and it means everything to me. Instead of simply repotting it, he carefully propagated healthy cuttings, replanted what he could, and sent me home with the remaining cuttings in a humidity bag along with clear instructions so I can come back later and grow even more plants. That kind of kindness and care is incredibly rare. We discussed my new outdoor space, its direction, sun exposure, and the Arizona heat he suggested container friendly plants that will thrive in my space, attract hummingbirds, and create a beautiful, cooler outdoor retreat. He wasn’t just selling plants; he was helping me create a space I’ll truly enjoy. This is exactly why small businesses matter. You simply don’t get this level of knowledge, thoughtfulness, or genuine customer care at a big-box store. I’ll absolutely be back to buy the rest of the plants for my space. Dig it Gardens earned a customer for life. ❤️🪴🪏
